"We have them come out because we had a leak on our Watermain. When they did their assessment, they said that it was not on our side of the main. It was on the city they gave us the number to call and the city came out and fixed it for free. Well Jason, the plumber from spotless was at my house. He noticed we had a dripping faucet he ran to Home Depot grabbed a new one and threw it on there without even asking and didn’t want to charge. It said no big deal. We gave him 50 bucks because that was great and it’s been leaking for a long time. Great service I will use him for everything in the future. No doubt definitely not some hustler and definitely good business which is hard to find these days."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Hard water isn’t unhealthy. It’s safe to drink, bathe in, and cook with. However, it can make some skin, hair, and scalp problems, such as eczema, worse by affecting the pH balance of your skin and hair. Additionally, some people don’t like the taste of hard water, but it does contain minerals that are important to your overall health, like calcium.

The main difference between water softeners and water filters is that softeners remove hard minerals from the water, while filters have more of a blanket effect, removing all contaminants above a certain size. Filters are also much less expensive to install and protect against bacteria and other impurities. Depending on your water supply, you may need both.

DIY installation is sometimes plausible, improving efficiency and reducing expenses, but adherence to safety practices guarantees optimal performance.

A tankless water heater should be at least 10 feet away from a water softener, although the pros you hire for water softener installation can help you determine the correct distance. These two units need to have some distance between them to prevent hot water from the tankless water heater from flowing backward into the water softener when it runs a regeneration cycle.

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.
